| From the Where2sing.com forum: JOHNNY B + DAVID:
Yes, I have to agree that a Law is a Law is a Law, and as Paul Keating once emphasised, and I quote: 'L - A - W Law !'
But whether or not someone will be 'punished' for breaking a certain Law is another matter.
Joe Jackson, or his publishers, or whoever has the copyright to his songs, will not 'punish' the host of the party I referred to, nor will his 60+ invited quests be 'punished' for their 'crime' of getting free copies of the lyrics to the song 'Real Men' - On the contrary, Joe Jackson might be flattered that some people do remember one of his great works, and he may well make a buck or two from it in CD royalties, as one or two of those 60+ people may well like the song and go out and buy his 'Best Of' compilation album to check out his other works.
But it's a different story if someone includes the lyrics of that song, amongst 1000 others, in a published songbook, mass produced for sale to all and sundry ... then that is copyright infringement worth pursuing.
